Nigeria's Super Eagles became the first African team to reach the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil after defeating Ethiopia 2-0 in Calabar on Saturday.
The Nigerians reach their fifth Mundial on a 4-1 aggregate against the Ethiopians having won the first leg 2-1 in Addis Ababa last month.

Goals from Victor Moses and Obinna Nsofor ensured that the African champions beat Ethiopia though it was not the most smooth games for the Nigerians.
Inside the sixth minute, Ethiopian goalkeeper, Sisay Bancha pulled off a double save from Emmanuel Emenike and Moses.

Ethiopia's resistance was broken 14 minutes later when Moses scored from the spot after Hailu Aynalem was adjudged to have handled the ball in his own goal area by Gambian referee, Bakary Gassama.
It was Moses' third goal from the spot against Ethiopia in 2013.
On the half hour mark, Moses again stung Bancha's palms before the Ethiopians cleared their lines.
A minute later, Brown Ideye headed wide from close range as Nigeria turned on the heat on Ethiopia.
Two minutes before the break Onazi's shot from range forced Bancha into a diving save and Ideye bombed the rebound into the stands.

‘Why I Can Never Marry A Poor Man – Empress Njamah Opens Up

 

Nollywood actress, Empress Njamah as with many celebrities has been trailed by different scandals.

Despite the enormous controversies that almost denied her the limelight, she is still able to keep her head up.
In a recent interview, the actress reveals that she can never settle down with a poor man.
See excerpts from the interview:

What’s your dream man like?
Let me tell you something about life, I will not come here today and tell you I want a God-fearing man, he must be tall, he must be this, he must be that.  I have once said something about what I want in a man, and then the person I fell in love with was the exact opposite. You cannot dictate feelings, you cannot dictate emotions, that’s why there’s something called love at first sight, you cannot tell.

I’m not going to clone a man that I want.  There is this thing called chemistry, once you see it, you know it. I won’t come here and tell you that he must be tall and he must have six packs, I’m not crazy about that, so basically what I want in a man are what I’ll probably see at that point and what’ll attract me at that point.

Rafael Nadal remains world number one

 

Rafael Nadal

Tennis star, Rafael Nadal, will surely end year 2013 as world number one, but earlier in the week, he was given a reminder that his biggest contender, Novak Djokovic, still reigns supreme at the ATP World Tour Finals.

Djokovic defeated Nadal 6-3, 6-4 to retain the title at the O2 Arena in London on Monday night.

In spite of the defeat, it will be the third time that Nadal will finish a year top of the rankings, although he will need to watch his back next as Djokovic is hot on his heels.

Nadal had said he doubted he would ever recapture his best form when he was forced out of the sport for over seven months with a serious injury. But since returning in February 2013, Nadal has been impressive.

Before his defeat to the world number two at the final game of the ATP World Tour Finals, Nadal had had a career-best record for the year. He had arrived for the competition in London with 10 tournament victories and Grand Slam titles at the French and US Opens, that took his tally of majors to 13- four behind all-time leader, Roger Federer.

I need to work twice as hard as male rappers – Pryse

 

Pryse

Rap artiste, Princess Esindu, popularly known as Pryse tells Ademola Olonilua about her career and coping in a male dominated industry

At what age did you discover your talent?

I actually wrote my first rap verse at the of age 10 for my church’s kids choir. Well, at 14, when I really started recording, the likes of The Remedies and Plantashun Boyz were coming out. Nigeria was just beginning to pay attention to its own musicians. I remember looking up to Sasha and Blaise and admiring them, thinking I can do that. I think it was actually a lot easier back then to get the people’s attention. A combination of less competition and lower expectations, I guess. Nowadays, the standard of music is out of this world. More and more international standard artistes are emerging everyday. The emergence of MI and the Choc Boiz basically paved the way for a new generation of rappers. Artistes like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, etc, are pushing the bar higher and higher.
